Month: May 2008

The Blue Paloverdes are covered with pods, flat, light-green with 3 or 4 pimply bumps where the seeds are, spaced well apart. Saw a White-crowned Sparrow, caught a brief glimpse of a Lucy’s Warbler, and heard the fly-catchers again. The lizards are out in force, including the big Desert Spiny Lizard that leaves near the hackberry bushes just north of Camino a Los Vientos. The chollas are blooming, from the wine-dark red in this photo to brighter crimson.
